The road to Booth and Brennan’s momentous marriage on Bones was paved with… awkward kissing?

In the following exclusive video from the Fox drama’s Season 9 DVD release (in stores next Tuesday), stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel reminiscence about their characters’ uncomfortable wedding rehearsal — which featured the actress’ real-life husband David Hornsby as the minister.

Fox drama “Bones” enters the decade club when the show returns with its season premiere on September 25.

On Monday night, series stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz reflected on their show hitting its tenth season.

“It is a big deal,” Emily told Access Hollywood at Fox’s Fall Eco-Casino Party in Santa Monica. “It’s a short list of shows that have made it to 10 seasons, so I feel very honored to be among that company. So, it’s pretty exciting. I can’t believe it. I feel, in one sense, I blinked and then I’m here. I did a pilot and all of a sudden, I’ve done almost 200 episodes, but at the same time, so many things have happened in that time and we’ve been able to follow these characters and these relationships over time and see how they change and that’s been wonderful. ”

David, who plays Booth on the show, said he knew early on that his series had a classic feel.

“It’s quite an accomplishment for everybody involved, and I think when we look back at all the moments and the memories that we’ve had, for me, it’s always moment to moment, working in the present, and when [we] did the pilot I was so excited because it had this feel when I read the script — it had almost like a ‘Romancing the Stone’ kind of feel to it,” David told Access. “These two characters were bickering and getting through the jungle, and I think that’s pretty much similar to what Bones and I go through… and we’re not travelling through jungles, but… I think we’re in the concrete jungle.”

Emily also shared a little hint at what’s to come when the show resumes in a couple of weeks on Fox.

“Booth is in prison and we’re trying to get him out and that’s very dramatic,” Emily said. “We think he’s going to get killed in prison because he’s put all these guys in prison and now he’s in prison with them and they’re trying to kill him, so we’re working to get to the bottom of the conspiracy.”

Emily Deschanel sat down for another interview at yesterdays 2014 Comic-Con International Convention with TV Line. This time she did a joint interview with her “Bones” co-star David Boreanaz, where they teased big changes coming for the 10th season, David’s scruffy facial hair, and a lot more! It’s definitely a fun interview to watch. I always enjoy joint interviews between David and Emily as they are both so adorable and fun together. You can check it out below! Enjoy!

Emily Deschanel talked with Tim Stack from Entertainment Weekly yesterday afternoon at the 2014 Comic-Con International Convention to promote the upcoming 10th season of “Bones.” She talks 10 years on “Bones,” teases the upcoming season, a possibility of guest starring on her sisters show “New Girl,” and more. It’s a great, fun interview and definitely worth the watch. Enjoy!

The clink won’t be kind to Booth when Bones return this fall, the show’s stars Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz and executive producer Stephen Nathan revealed at Comic-Con on Friday.

The action will pick up four months after the events of the Season 9 finale, with Booth feeling the effects of a life behind bars. “We will see a different side of him,” Boreanaz previewed, adding that his alter ego will suffer from PTSD.

“He’s definitely in a state of confusion with his present state of mind, with his state in the bureau, with where he is with Brennan,” the actor said.

Things won’t go much better for his wife back at their (new) home. “She’s with her child, alone,” Deschanel said. “It’s very worrisome for her, because Booth is not safe in prison. He’s a federal agent. He’s put a lot of people in prison who don’t like him. Even the guards don’t like him.” True to form, Deschanel added, the forensic anthropologist “puts her focus in her work when things are overwhelming.”

Brennan and the rest of the Jeffersonian team will do everything in their power to spring Booth in the season opener. But just because [Spoiler alert!] Booth gets out doesn’t mean life will immediately return to normal for the G-man.

“This is the first time that he’s been betrayed by an institution that he’d devoted his life to,” Nathan noted. “It really shakes the foundation of the entire premise of the show – whether he can trust the FBI, how he can get back to work.”

Meanwhile, the conspiracy that was unveiled last season is “something that’s been going on decades” and will continue to live on, Nathan continued. “While they can catch one murderer, that doesn’t mean all murder stops. They will put a stop to this within the first few episodes, but the reality of some kind of shadow government won’t go away completely.”

Other highlights from the panel:

THE BIG ONE | Next season’s milestone 200th episode will be “one of our odd ones,” featuring “not a typical murder,” teased Nathan, who will likely partner with creator Hart Hanson to write the hour. Boreanaz will helm the installment.

MURDER AND MAYHEM | Among the cases on tap: an undercover episode; the murder of a Rush Limbaugh-type figure; the show’s version of Wolf of Wall Street; hours dealing with the world of psychics – “We want Cyndi [Lauper] to come back, definitely,” Nathan said – and human trafficking; and a murder at a forensic convention.

SIBLING LOVE | Hodgins’ brother will return, Nathan revealed.

R.I.P. GRANDPA | Will the show pay tribute to the passing of Ralph Waite, who played Booth’s grandfather? “We don’t want to exploit his death,” Nathan replied, adding that events at the start of the season make an homage difficult, “but we do plan to address it.”

Michael Ausiello sat down with “Bones” EP, Stephen Nathan, today at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con Convention to discuss the upcoming 10th season, details on the 200th episode, and so much more. It’s not an Emily interview, but it has a lot of great tidbits about the upcoming season. So I figured it was worth sharing with you guys. You can read the article below and the interview is just below that. Enjoy and keep checking back for more updates from Comic-Con!

Booth and Brennan are fleeing the scene of the crime.

Bones EP Stephen Nathan confirmed to me exclusively Friday that Booth and Brennan will be moving into new digs when the Fox drama premieres its 10th season on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 8/7c.

The change of scenery comes in the wake of the violent, deadly shoot-out at their old crib in last May’s cliffhanger — a kerfuffle that landed Booth in the hospital and in jail.

“The memories are too horrible for them to stay,” Nathan explained during his visit to TVLine’s San Diego Comic-Con video suite. “Who’s going to stay in that house? That’s not a good house to stay in.”

Press PLAY below for more on that, as well as scoop on the “out of the ordinary” 200th episode, Booth’s new FBI sidekick, the baby on the way and more.

Peter Rice, a top FOX executive, attended the 2014 Television Critics Association press tour earlier today where he talked about the future of “Bones.” You can read below what Rice had to say and follow the source link after the article to view his comments about other FOX series.

Comings (24?) and goings (Bones?) were the hot topics as Fox Networks Group Chairman and CEO Peter Rice took the stage at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, ahead of Dana Walden and Gary Newman officially seizing the reins later this month.

…

As for Bones — which kicks off its 10th season Sept. 25 — Rice said, “I hope this year is not the last year. It’s a fantastic series. It has famously moved all over our schedule. It’s Emily [Deschanel] and David [Boreanaz’s] last year, contractually… but I hope it will come back.”

Edit (July 25): Emily Deschanel hit the red carpet at the Fox Summer TCA All-Star Party held at an exclusive hotspot on Sunday (July 20) in West Hollywood, California. Emily was joined at the party by her “Bones” co-stars David Boreanaz, Tamara Taylor, and Michaela Conlin. She looks absolutely stunning, doesn’t she? You can check out 89 MQ and HQ photos of Emily in the photo gallery. Enjoy!

Question: Despite Booth’s dangerous situation in jail, will Bones‘ Booth and Brennan have seen each other by the time the Season 10 premiere rolls around (via conjugal visits…)? —AmeliaAusiello: Responds EP Stephen Nathan: “They will definitely have seen each other. Although they won’t have touched each other. It will be three months later when we see them again. And they have been through a lot.” (Side note: Props to David Boreanaz for directing that spectacular, feature film-quality shootout at Booth and Brennan’s crib at the conclusion of the finale. I’m still catching my breath.)

Recently I sat in on a Fox conference call with David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel of the TV series, “Bones.” The show’s season finale, which was directed by Boreanaz, airs Monday May 19 at 7 p.m.

Q: You’re directing the finale, David. Can you kind of talk about doing that and then, Emily, about being directed by David?D. Boreanaz: Well, it’s always a challenge to take on something like the season finale. There’s – you know, you get to the end of the season and then everybody’s, you know, a little tired and worn out and, you know, the patience is thin, and with this specific season finale being that there was so much information that we kind of had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it, you know, difficult and challenging. There were lots of elements that were involved, whether it was, you know, dealing with the big, huge hearing in front of Congress or the intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booths’ relationship as well as the outcome of where they’re heading into as far as season ten is concerned.

So you take all that into account and it definitely is a journey and something that, by the end of it, you’re pretty exhausted.

E. Deschanel: I love being directed by David, and I’m not just saying that. I say it to everybody who’s not on our set. I think David is just really talented as a director as well as an actor. He has a whole other career, if he wants it, when this thing’s over, if he wants to do that he could make a whole career out of it.

He’s great technically, he’s good with the actors, he’d decisive, he knows what he wants, he knows what he doesn’t want, he comes in and, like, I’m always just amazed at how he’s dealing with all these incredible elements and he makes it seem so easy. Yes, there’s huge scenes. Like you said, the Congressional Subcommittee, there’s a lot that goes on in this episode, without giving too much away, but there’s a lot of elements and he does it all with ease, and I love working with him.

So it was a pleasure, once again, to work with him as an actor, with him as a director and I think that the season finale, you know, working on it, it was a great experience. It’s a really – there’s a big cliffhanger. It’s – there’s a lot going on for Booth and for Brennan. And so, I think everyone will be pleased. I haven’t seen the episode yet, but everyone who’s seen it has been raving about it, so I’m really excited to see it myself

Q: The finale is supposed to be really explosive. Can you talk about how that will affect Bones and Booth’s relationship?E. Deschanel: Yes, there’s a huge thing that happens at the end of this episode that, you know, we’re not going to tell you about right now, but it changes everything. For a while, with not only Booth and Brennan, between them, but also between kind of everything, Booth’s job, possibly Brennan’s job – I mean, everything.

So I can’t tell you exactly how it changes things, but it will change the dynamic and, you know, kind of everything about them and their work and relationships.

D. Boreanaz: I think it puts them in a different place for sure. I mean, we kind of know that going into a new season and what we’re going to do with these characters, but I think it’s interesting to see the end of this run, especially season nine in this specific finale, that there is a lot of destructive forces that could kind of come upon us and we find out that there’s more to it than what meets the eye and they’ve been kind of working kind of underground for a while, whether that’s through conspiracy theories or just, you know, stuff that they’ve been hiding in the FBI or through the Jeffersonian, but it all kind of comes to a head and it’s pretty detrimental at the end.

You know, things will change for the good and there will be, also, things that they’ll have to adjust to. I keep saying adjusting because it’s definitely going to be different.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about working with Freddie Prinze, Jr. this season?D. Boreanaz: He’s great. Freddie was great. I mean, he came in – it’s always tough and difficult for guest stars to come in on an arc and on an already existing show because everyone knows each other and I’m sure it’s always like, kind of like, “Oh, I’m going to go do this arc,” but he is so grounded and professional and he’s a true pro. He just comes in and he knocks it out in a way that’s very honest and a lot of fun as well. So he kind of fit right in and, you know, I hope to have him back, you know, this season for season ten. I really enjoyed working with him and he’s just a great person as well.

Q: There’s a new squintern coming to play in the next episode. How do Booth and Brennan react to her?D. Boreanaz: Well, when it comes to the squints, I rely on my main Bones, my main girl. She evaluates all the squints. I just love having some fun and making sure they have all the info in order to solve the crime.

E. Deschanel: Yes, well, I guess, I mean – yes, I, Brennan thinks that the new squintern is very good at her job except she does not care for the way she guesses about things and makes assumptions. And Brennan is by-the-book and doesn’t appreciate that kind of – Laura Spencer plays the new intern. Now I can’t remember the character’s name, but what is that? Hopefully it’ll come to me, but – Kim will probably tell us at the end of the call.

So she’s kind of an intuitive person. Even though she’s very smart, her intuition probably comes from experience, but she throws things out and you know, in the episode coming up she’s like, “I’m just getting a vibe that this is an athlete” and then we find evidence that he was an athlete. She really rubs Sweets the wrong way, but then that attention might turn to in a romantic way, she certainly kind of has her, has some interest in Sweets. So that’s kind of an interesting development.

Q: I know that you guys have been together and acting for obviously such a long time and you’re going into season ten, but how has the chemistry remained, like, intact with you two because you two are so funny together and I’ve seen you at Comic-Con and I’ve interviewed you guys in the past and you just are always laughing and funny together and you guys have such great chemistry.D. Boreanaz: You’ve seen just the good days. There are bad days. I think what – you know, what’s unique in this situation, seriously from day one, honestly, blessed to have a costar that can be open and honest and just tell me, like, “You’re bothering me today” or, “I have an issue.” We have complete trust and respect for each other that we can just go aside and say, “You know what? I’m having a bad day. Just know where I’m coming from, Emily,” and we both support that in each other.

Shooting a television show is hard enough and it takes a lot of time and it takes away from your personal life, your family life and you know, thank god I was blessed with a costar who is so generous and supportive and yet also, we just – we have a bad day, we have a bad day. We recognize it and we go on. We don’t hold onto it, we don’t judge and we just go forward. And I think that kind of helps our chemistry. We use it. We use what we’re going through in our scenes and we’ve learned early on that that helps our chemistry. If anything, it helps our chemistry and it helps us grow with the characters rather than being so stagnant and say, “Hey, we’re in season nine, so let’s just kick back” and do nothing about it and take it for granted. You can’t. You have to be able to push every moment and every scene. It’s so important. Yeah, we have those moments, but you know, I think that’s what helps us.

E. Deschanel: I totally agree with everything David said. We have open communication, which is something we started from the beginning, like he said. We just tell each other if we’re in a mood or the other one’s annoying either of us or something. And you know, we just, we accept that we’re not, you know, we’re not perfect, you know but I think one thing, too, is that we both know how important this relationship is both onscreen and off and how important it is for us to get along together both onscreen and off and how we both have a commitment to the show. Like David said, it’s not like you’re like, “Oh, it’s season nine” and we’re resting on our laurels. We’re working hard.

Like David said, for six seasons we would meet every weekend and work on stuff together. Now we do stuff on our own. We both – our families have expanded and you know, lives have changed, but we have that foundation and we’re really committed to making this show as good as it can be. And part of that is getting along onscreen and off, like I said, and like, you know, David’s a really fun guy to work with. He, you know, he doesn’t – he’s not like a dark person. He can play that, he can do, you know, serious stuff and deep stuff, but we both believe in having a good time.

We’re not doing, you know, brain surgery here, we’re not curing cancer. We’re entertaining people and we absolutely can have fun while we’re doing that and have fun together with everybody else on our crew and cast. So you know, I’m really lucky that David is such a fun person to work with and a great guy.

Q: Is it a weird transformation of playing partners to them ultimately having a relationship and you know, kissing on screen and having a family?D. Boreanaz: Well, you know, it’s development of the character, obviously. The crux of it was these two characters that, who had to work together and there was a sexual tension, there was a conflict and we played that and we continue to play that. I mean, in our subtext when we’re working together, even though the two characters are married and they have a kid, so that’s part of your job, to do that, and if you can’t excite the writers then what’s the purpose? I mean, you have to continuously do that.

So for us it’s always been about the relationship of the characters, going back to that and exploring that and making that fun for the audience.

Q: I was just wondering, with the show having been on for a long time now it offers kind of opportunities for developing characters a great deal over that time. What and how have you enjoyed seeing Bones and Booth develop over that time?D. Boreanaz: I’ve enjoyed it. I continue to enjoy it. It’s not something to me that is, that I put a period on yet. It’s, for me, it’s growth with inside the themes and the moments and where you can take them because at the end of this season when we were shooting, there were moments that were pretty intense that reminded Booth of that inner child and how much he still wants to play with this other character. And for me, that’s really what it’s about.

So you know, you watch him, you partake in these nine seasons and you just make it fresh. And when we started season one, scene one, everyone’s like, “Oh, you’re going to get to two and three and four” and I don’t – and I think Emily knows this about me – go back in the past. I focused on the work tomorrow and whether it’s season six or season seven or I’m gracious to get to ten seasons, to me it’s the same scene, the same shot that we did when we first shot the first scene of the pilot.

E. Deschanel: I was like, it’s the same scene? I was wrapped up in your thoughts. I’m like, am I supposed to say something? Yes, I mean, I think that if we had not changed as a couple and as characters, the show wouldn’t be as interesting. I’m so glad that they’ve, that we’ve evolved over time and our relationships have evolved over time, and it’s not just Booth and Brennan, but Angela and Hodgins and Cam and Sweets, etc. So I think that, you know, thank god we’ve been changing this whole time and it hasn’t remained stagnant and it’s different. We keep moving forward, like David said, and it keeps it interesting.

Q: Where would you like to see them go in the future?D. Boreanaz: You know, I think the future, like I said, is destined only for tomorrow’s work and today’s thoughts, so I can’t say what’s going to happen to them because I don’t look that far down. When I look at the first episode of season ten, then I’ll focus on that and then where I am with the character. You know, I’m sure that Hart and Stephen have – know how this show is going to end, but you know, it’s the same thing what happened when how will they know they were going to get married and have a child? You know, circumstances happen in real people’s lives. Emily got pregnant and it organically happened, and it happened and it felt right for the show. It wasn’t pushed, it wasn’t pressed, and I think that we believe in that, at least I do, and I think that’s what it’s all about for me.

E. Deschanel: David definitely likes to live in the moment and he doesn’t, you know, he doesn’t live in the past, he doesn’t live in the future. I worry probably too much about the past and future, but I don’t know. I really leave that to the writers to decide and then where we’re going, but you know, always have, you know, thoughts and stuff once we see what they’re thinking, but I don’t know. I kind of love being surprised, so I leave it to the writers to decide where we’re going in that way.

The Ghost Killer may be dead on Bones, but she will continue to haunt Booth and Brennan during the Season 9 finale (Monday at 8/7c, Fox).

As Booth (David Boreanaz) prepares to be confirmed for his new role at the FBI during a congressional hearing, he receives a phone call from a conspiracy blogger who claims to have information linking the Ghost Killer’s family —the McNamaras — to some FBI brass. Unfortunately, the blogger ends up dead before Booth and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) get a chance to connect the dots.

“Brennan thinks she’s done with the Ghost Killer, but in an indirect way, she’s not,” Deschanel tells TVGuide.com. “When you get a phone call from a mysterious person talking about a conspiracy and they end up dead, it’s very suspicious.” Adds executive producerStephen Nathan: “They uncover what appears to be a conspiracy that is far, far larger than the Ghost Killer. What we wanted to do, because we have been dealing with serial killers on a relatively regular basis on the show, was take this in another direction and make this rabbit hole that they’re falling down far more nefarious and conspiratorial than we have ever seen before.”

As Brennan investigates the blogger’s cause of death, Booth digs deeper into the McNamara-FBI connection. But for obvious reasons, Booth must keep his work quiet. “He certainly is suspicious about the FBI and other government agencies,” Deschanel says. “We start uncovering some pretty intense stuff. We have to keep it under wraps because we don’t know who to trust at the FBI — or anywhere really.”

And Booth’s investigation into his own agency will take an emotional toll on him. “Booth is a guy who is incredibly honest, incredibly just and uncompromising, and I don’t think he’ll ever change,” Nathan says. “But what we’re doing is putting him up against a situation which is the opposite.” Adds Deschanel: “Booth believes in his country and he believes in the FBI. He sees these as a few individuals who have abused their power. That doesn’t shake his confidence in the bureau or his government … but that doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to take those people down in whatever way possible. It becomes a hunt for these people, and Booth has to fight them.”

Indeed, that intense firefight becomes the centerpiece of what is arguably the biggest, most action-packed finale the show has ever done. And Boreanaz was not only dodging bullets but he was also the man calling the shots behind the camera. “It’s always a challenge to take on something like the season finale,” Boreanaz says. “With this specific finale, there was so much information that we had to gather up and put out there in one 45-minute hit, it made it difficult and challenging. Whether it was dealing with the big huge hearing with Congress or an intense battle between other forces that could come in and jeopardize Bones and Booth’s relationship… it definitely was draining. By the end of it, you’re pretty exhausted.”

And viewers may find themselves exhausted by the end as well. As these grim promos tease, Booth will be fighting for his life. “It all comes to a head, and it’s pretty detrimental,” Boreanaz says. “It puts them in a different place.” Adds Deschanel: “I wouldn’t categorize this as a happy ending. It changes everything. Booth always has faith that the good guy wins, but in this situation, it doesn’t look good.”

But Booth’s survival isn’t even the biggest question of the finale. In fact, it’s the season’s closing seconds that will have the most impact on what the show will look like in Season 10.

“Everything — Booth’s work, Booth’s relationship [with Brennan], and the direction of Booth and Brennan’s life — will be called into question at the end of this season,” Nathan says. “People will be changed by what has happened at the end of Season 9 and what will occur at the top of Season 10. The show as we all know it will continue; it will just continue in a different way.”

Warning: The following story contains spoilers. If you wish to remain spoiler-free, do NOT read below this line!

Um, maybe? “There’s a huge thing that happens at the end… that we’re not going to tell you about, but it changes everything — not only between Booth and Brennan, but also with Booth’s job, possibly Brennan’s job – I mean, everything,” Emily Deschanel warns. Adds scene partner David Boreanaz: “There is a lot of destructive forces that could come upon us, and we find out that there’s more to it than what meets the eye…. It puts [Booth and Brennan] in a different place, for sure.”

Hey everybody! FOX has revealed the schedule for their 2014-15 TV season and with that, we have some new news for “Bones” fans. The network is moving the show (yet again. haha) to Thursday nights, where it will act as a lead-in to FOX’s new limited series “Gracepoint.” The Thursday timeslot may be familiar to some as it previously aired in that spot from the end of Season 4 all the way through mid-Season 7.
